Not so easy come, but easy go!

Sigh. I'm seeing a slow increase in measurements on my thighs. I haven't been doing a terrific job with eating in the past two weeks and the exercise could be better, but I didn't think the fat would come back THAT quick! I'm still making healthy choices, but when I was following The Zone diet more strictly I was doing fantastic, although I did hit a plateau, but instead of getting past it and climbing up, I'm on my way down! Geeze, if I'm going to put weight back on, I may as well indulge in the ice cream and sweets that I've given up. Oh well, guess it's a wake up call - or more like a "pay more attention to your diet and get off your a$$ and exercise" call. I can't tell you how much I weight I've gained because I'm avoiding the scale. However, I can gauge the increase by how my clothes are fitting. Alright, I need to get back to setting realistic short term goals. The exercise goals are doable, but I'm having trouble with keeping food goals although I generally make healthy choices and try to eat protein with each snack and meal. I'm also drinking water regularly. Maybe my portions could be smaller and if I could get a better handle on snacking I'd probably do better too. I also need to do a better job with stress management. Eating with emotion is NOT what I need to be doing.

Debbie I know you can do this! How about making a *snack* list? And working from there...
Figure these things out and work from there...
Good Luck and here are some ~~anti-muchin-Monster~~ vibes to help!

that way, you can be good and only buy the good snacks: almonds, sunflower seeds, fruit, soy chips ( IF you must have something like that...just remember they are calorie dumps, altho nutritious calorie dumps :) )
if you buy junk food, then you're bound to eat it. but if you buy good snacks, you can't ever really beat yourself up when you fall off your wagon.
and under NO circumstances should you buy ice cream (my personal downfall). if you must have ice cream, then make yourself work for it. by walking to and from the grocery store when you want a fix and only allow yourself a pint. :D
i've worked on this for 3 years. getting on and falling off, yo-yo-ing up and down all over the place. i'm not sure what the final straw was, but i'm really finally able to say i'm controlling my urges now, rather than the other way around. i think we all go thru this till we find that moment when we say "no more". till then, we watch ourselves play little *games*, kinda like kids trying to stay up late.
just don't give up on yourself! remember how great it feels when you reach one of your personal milestones.

Debbie, I'm so with you this week.
Take care, ladies, and good luck this week.
